Implantable neurostimulator for chronic pain

Yes and had it removed a year later. Trial went fine but it was a different device. They placed Medtronic precision, I think it was. Nevertheless, after several adjustments, I had it removed.

Yes, I had a Medtronic MRI compatible SCS for 13 months and had it removed after I tried at least 100 different settings failed. I had the implant after 2 failed back surgeries and a spinal fusion at the L5-S1. Could never get a signal that would take away ANY amount of pain over the 13 months. Was diagnosed with CRPS after fusion surgery and have been battling intense 24/7 pain ever since. I just live one day at a time.
I found MFR and has been very helpful in releasing the fascia from all the scar tissue that’s developed since. I have a weekly MFR session that has done wonders for me a little at a time, and will be going to Therapy on the Rocks in Nov for their intensive therapy program. Wish me luck.

My bad. It was Boston Scientific. The trial was one type device the implant was another, paddles. I had high hopes for it helping me but was very disappointed. I have scoliosis so that might have been a factor. I’m new here on the forum, so, “hello everyone”.
